My grandma said you had to make a "mistake" on every quilt because only God was perfect... so we had to find the (usually deliberate) mistake on every quilt...a bit like "Where's Waldo?" game. So, when someone spots my mistakes, I always say "I MEANT to do that!!" haha! I mean, why did they name it "patchwork" if they didn't mean us to be literal about it?!

Very interesting:) I am actually reading a book 'Sisters of the Quilt (the complete trilogy)' by Cindy Woodsmall it is very good and a wonderfl insight into the Amish community. I reccommend it to you all:)
